Chapter 20: The Mother and Daughter PlotsThe second Lilian sighted Aurora, she left her desk and rushed up to her.
"That's right, Lilian. I need you to deliver a few bottles of wine to my Dad," Aurora mentioned as soon as she saw her. "Gather the team when you return so we can all try a bottle of the 'Fruit Punch Champagne," she added as she opened the door to her office and walked in.
"Ms. Aurora, Director Olivia left your office a minute ago," Lilian informed, following after her.
As soon as Aurora heard that, she quickly snapped her gaze to her, stopping in her steps with brows furrowed. "What? You let her into my office?"
"She forced her way in. I'm sorry I couldn't stop her." Lilian bowed, completely guilty.
Aurora quickly marched to her desk, her eyes
"I don't mind her getting married in any way. What I do mind is the class of man she attracts. I can't let her marry a better and more influential man than Owen. She has to stick to the spot below you," Stella said, a smirk appearing at the corner of her lip.
Olivia smiled proudly, feeling lucky to have got herself the best mother in the world.
"The people keeping watch on your sister mentioned that she hasn't been home in a while," Stella mentioned as her gaze turned serious. "When your father returns, tell him we should have dinner at her place tonight to celebrate the new products you two are launching since she failed to come home for dinner last weekend. And our coming should be a surprise."
Olivia nodded immediately as she got off the chair. "I will, Mum." She was in for any mission that had everything to do with bursting or offending Aurora.

Aurora returned from work to meet Xander in the living room with several papers scattered on the table and wondered what happened to his study.
"Come give me a hug," Xander smiled as he spread his arms out for her as soon as she walked in.
She let out a soft sigh and went to him. She hugged him and received a soft kiss on her cheeks and just when she was about to lean away, he grabbed her hand and pulled her to sit next to him.
"How was work today?" he inquired and picked up his tablet to continue with the mail he was going through.
"Fine," she replied. "I went to the wine production factory today and got some bottles from my new product."
Almost immediately, he glanced at her. "Where is my bottle?"
"Did you think I wouldn't bring any for you when you helped with the idea?" she asked and immediately had the butler bring the carton of champagne she returned with.
Aurora brought out six bottles and set them on the table as Xander made space for her.
"Two belong to you, and two for your parents. I want to know what they think about the Fruit Punch Champagne. The review will help with last-minute improvements," she explained. "And the other two are for your friend, Asher. He can give a bottle to another friend, and I don't mind him taking pictures and posting on his social media."
As Xander listened to her plots, a grin appeared on his face. "I know what you are trying to do," he said. "And I will help you only if you are willing to share a few more bottles with me so I can send them to the people in my network. How do you see it?"
Instantly, Aurora's gaze widened in surprise seeing his efforts to help her promote her new product to the people in a class higher than hers.
"Oh. My. God! Do you think I'm stupid not to need your help?" she asked.
"I for say." Xander tapped the tip of her nose and immediately called for the butler to bring two champagne glasses before turning his attention back to her. "Trust me, you don't have any problem with getting your 'Fruit Punch Champagne into the market, and no one can hinder its growth under my watch."
